Free workshop for home buyers

The Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle together with Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corporation will sponsor a free workshop entitled Why Rent When You Can Own Your Home.
The workshop is designed to show renters how they can afford to buy a home.
The free workshop will lead participants through the process of assessing their ability to secure financing and determining exactly how much they can afford to spend on a home. Workshop participants will learn valuable information about the settlement process, traditional and non-traditional financing and qualifying for a loan.
Information on how to improve your credit rating, along with a free credit report will be available.
The workshop will be held on April 21 from 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. in the Board Room of the Urban League at 105 14th Ave., Seattle.
Limited seating is available and registration is required.
